Ciao! Welcome back to FoodFriendzy’s second restaurant review! To follow our theme of Italian food, some of the friendz got together a couple of weeks ago to go to a local pizza joint called Big Pie in the Sky. Big Pie in the Sky is located at 2090 Baker Rd. Ste A-103 Kennesaw, GA 30144 and is open 11AM-10PM from Mon. – Sun. and 12PM-9PM on Sunday’s.
There are many things that go into make Pizza and pizza spots great. Categories we will rate in this review are: The Pizza (meal), Atmosphere/Service, and then give an overall score. Therefore, each one of the friendz will go over all of those general options and give scores based on how they think all the categories should be rated. The scores will be out of 5. A 5 is “Best Ever” and a 1 is “Terrible”.P
Main Dish
Andie: Calzone with olives and onions
I ordered differently from the group and ordered a calzone instead of pizza. The calzone was huge, similarly to the pizza slices. I was only able to eat maybe half of my meal. I have never had food from Big Pie in the Sky, and to be honest I will probably not return. The calzone was very greasy. I will admit I am a picky eater and I tend to have high standards, but the calzone did not rank well with me. I would rank my meal at a 2.5 out of 5. I have had better calzones from other local pizza restaurants, specifically from Night Owl Pizza. So if your in the mood for a calzone I would recommend that you don’t go to Big Pie in the Sky.
Megan: So, this was my first time at Big Pie in the Sky, and it did not disappoint. I ordered one slice of pepperoni with a side of jalapenos, and a drink. The total price was $6.25 and worth every penny. Not only was the slice of pizza bigger than the cut out they have for reference, but it was delicious! The crust had just the right amount of thinness and baked just right, the sauce wasn’t too thick, and the cheese was perfect. I am pretty sure I ate my slice in less than 5 minutes…don’t judge! I would rank their pizza a 5 out of 5. Big Pie in the Sky is the place to go if you’re craving a good pizza for a decent price.
Julie: Pepperoni, mushroom, and sausage pizza
I have visited Big Pie in the Sky once before. The food is always perfect for the price. You get a LARGE slice of pizza with any toppings you desire. The sausage was different from most pizza. Typically, I receive ground sausage on pizzas but at Big Pie in the Sky they sliced up sausage links. This twist looked a bit odd on the pizza but still was just as flavorful. I don’t usually eat the crust but I gave it a try. It was dry for my liking but the crust base was thin and moist. I also ordered a caesar salad and a cannoli. Both were incredible and I will be back for more cannolis! I give them a 4 out of 5 for food.
Charis: Classic Cheese Pizza
Once again, I had been to Big Pie in the Sky once before, and had an excellent experience. However, this was over two years ago, and I was eager to revisit the restaurant with a fresh set of eyes. Big Pie in the Sky is the PLACE to go if you’re looking for a delicious, filling, but also affordable place to eat. I ordered a slice of Classic Cheese Pizza, and side Cesar Salad. The entire meal costed me less than $6.00! Not only is the price great, the food is excellent! My pizza tasted authentic, and was so big it could cover my entire face. To say it was worth every penny, would have been an understatement. It was absolutely delicious–so much so, that I went back the next week! For the food alone, I would give Big Pie in the Sky a 5 out of 5.
Logan: BBQ Chicken Pizza with Pineapple
I had heard nothing but great things about Big Pie in the Sky and I had to see if they could live up to the hype. I got a slice of pizza, which isn’t anything too crazy, but some people think that I’m a little weird with my pizza selection. After considering the many different options that they offered, they provided my with the largest slice of pizza that I had seen in my entire life. I got the BBQ chicken pizza with pineapples. The pizza was a thinner crispy dough which is how I like it. I appreciated that this pizza wasn’t nearly as greasy as most pizzas are and all the ingredients were nice, fresh, and spread out evenly over the pizza. It was large enough to where I could fold it in half and turn it into more of a flatbread sandwich which was nice over having to two-hand it and struggle to keep my toppings in place. I thought it was a very good pizza for the price and one slice was a good potion for someone who is moderately hungry. I would come back for a quick snack. 3.5 out of 5
Service/Atmosphere
Andie: The service was good. The people working were kind and polite, no complaints there so I would give the service a 4 out of 5.
The atmosphere on the other hand was okay, just okay. The restaurant was small and kinda dark and dingy. Seemed kind of like a whole in the wall. This made me wonder what the health inspection rating was… I would give the atmosphere a 2 out of 5.
Megan: My first thought when walking into Big Pie was less than impressed. The decor and overall place isn’t the most inviting. However, once the girl at the counter greeted us, and offered suggestions I no longer cared what the place looked like. The seating was comfy and the natural light mixed with the dim interior light was perfect. There weren’t many people there throughout the time we sat to eat until we left, due to us coming in between lunch and dinner. However, the music was not too loud, so it was a good atmosphere to sit and talk while we enjoyed our food. The only complaint I had was that there were multiple fruit flies/gnats that were in the air where we were seated, but then again with it being the south and such it didn’t bother us too much. Overall I would give the atmosphere an overall 3.8 out of 5.
Julie: Upon entering Big Pie, there isn’t much to catch your eye. The decor is outdated and minimally decorated. The menu is located behind the counter where we ordered. The wording is crammed and small, which made it difficult to read. The staff was polite and friendly to us and had our orders out in just a few minutes. The only unsettling thing about our visit was that while we were eating gnats were swarming around us… gross. I give the atmosphere a 3.5 out of 5.
Charis: The service at Big Pie in the Sky was superb. They were so nice, friendly, and so willing to help out. We asked them for recommendations, and they were happy to help us. The seating was comfortable, lighting a little dim (which I personally like), and I enjoyed how it was seat-yourself. There was music playing at a good level, soft enough that we could easily converse. It was not the “prettiest” restaurant by any means, but I think it was appealing enough, especially for how good their prices were. I would give the atmosphere and service a 4.0 out of 5.0.
Logan: In my opinion the service/atmosphere was very chill for the time of day we went. We rolled up at 4 o’clock and it was about as empty as you would think, so we had the best seating in the house. It was very relaxed and good for a group, meeting, small date. It was sort of dim lit and very quiet which was just fine for us, but we don’t know if it stays that way all the time. It was an ‘order at the counter’ and ‘help yourself as you need’ kind of place, which I thought was nice, because we didn’t have anyone bothering us and had everything available to us whenever we needed. The lady at the front was nice, funny, and super helpful with suggestions and questions we had. My food came out very quickly and was happy overall, but it was a system that would be tough to mess up honestly. 3.5 out of 5
Overall
Andie: Overall my experience was just okay, not terrible but just okay. I would not return but I am glad to have tried the restaurant to experience something new. My overall rating is a 2.5 out of 5.
Megan: The food was awesome, the portion size was great, the employees were very friendly and inviting, and the atmosphere was pretty decent. Overall I would give Big Pie in the Sky a 4.2 out of 5. I have gone back since our visit at a much busier time (a Saturday night), and they still were pretty awesome.
Julie: Overall, I give them a 4 out of 5. The food was great and cooked in a timely manor. Although the atmosphere wasn’t the best, It is still a good place to meet up with old friends. Just need to work on getting those flies out!
Charis: Overall, I was thrilled by the experience. The food surpassed my expectations, portion sizes were incredible, service was excellent, and the price was spot-on. It is definitely a restaurant I would recommend to my friends and family, and I will be coming back! I would give it a 4.5 out of 5.
Logan: Overall I was happy with my experience. I had a very delicious slice of pizza and I enjoyed talking to the workers at the front. They were very friendly and seemed liked they wanted us to be happy and have a good time. It is a place that I would go back to, but wasn’t anything that really stood out above the rest other than the fact that their portions are pretty dang big. So with that being said, it would be a nice chill place to go back and visit again in the future. 3.5 out of 5
